Hood

Little India & Kampong Glam


Inside the Bugis+ mall, Hood's street-art interior sets a youthful scene for nightly music jams with acts such as Rush Hour and Singapore Char Siew Baos. If it's undiscovered talent you're after, head in for the weekly 'Saturday Original Session’, a showcase for budding musos itching to share their singer-songwriter skills.
